Summer Scribes is a writing camp that promises to stir up ideas in your child's mind.  Often, students know the rules for writing, but they dread the process of it all because they think they don't have anything to say.  We will work together to practice making good ideas happen, and then write them out.  Students will be taught specific techniques to expand their small ideas into meaningful writing.

Summer Writing Camps

  • Designed specifically for students in grades 3-5.
  • Sessions are led solely and entirely by credentialed writing instructor, Amanda Lenton.
  • Sessions are limited to just 6 students.
  • Each day begins with a thought-provoking activity such as cooking, a game, a craft, or a science experiment.  We make our good ideas happen, then we write about them.
  • Students create a portfolio to keep with no fewer than 10 writing pieces.
